Requirements
Must:
- Proven experience as a senior-level/Enterprise Data Architect in a regulated, client-focused environment (ideally financial services).
- Strong understanding of data governance frameworks, data quality, and compliance.
- Hands-on experience with Snowflake, DBT, and an awareness of the wider vendor landscape (e.g., Adobe, Braze, etc.).
- Ability to design and author data architecture standards, models, and strategy.
- Sound knowledge of modern data architecture approaches: data mesh, fabric, warehouse, etc.
- Technical background in data modeling, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and ETL/ELT.
- Confident in challenging and influencing at senior levels.
- Experience collaborating across technology, engineering, and business leadership.
- Strong communicator able to translate technical ideas for non-technical stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- I will lead the design and delivery of a robust, scalable data architecture aligned with our business strategy, regulatory obligations, and modern industry standards.
- This role is not just technical; it is strategic and collaborative. I will work closely with engineering, data governance, and leadership teams to ensure that information flows smoothly across the business and that new platforms or technologies are integrated thoughtfully and effectively.
- I will bring clarity where there currently isn't much, laying down foundations, frameworks, and standards that will guide how data is managed, modeled, and used in the future.
- This includes setting principles for governance, assessing vendors, and advising on whether data mesh, fabric, or warehousing solutions best suit our business needs.
- I will act as a voice of reason and challenge, holding my own in conversations with engineering and architecture peers.
